That should be right, because the absolute value of -9 would be 9, but the negative sign in front makes it -9.

Your selected answer is correct because the absolute value of -9 is 9, and the negative sign outside the absolute number symbols makes it 9 negative, so -9=-9. <em>BUT,</em> we notice that there are choices for "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to". Those ones are correct too because it can be one or the other (greater than or equal to, less than or equal to).

Equal to, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to (Choices 3, 4, and 5)

Answer:

D.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.

Fill in values:

$a^2+15^2=17^2$
